LOUIS APPELT, Editor.

Clarendon Will Have Peace.
The Democrats of Clarendon, re
gardless of factions, do not belong
to the political school presided over
by the Columbia State, as is evi
denced by the action of the County
Democratic Executive Committee.
#This body, composed of seven Re
formers and five Conservatives,
unanimously decided not to deprive
by word or act any white man of the
privilege of choosing for himself who
to vote for and, because they did so,
the Columbia -State has taken to
making grimaces at the editor of
THE TIMES. and charges him with
treachery to the "Forty."
In the first place the editor of THE
TIMEs is not a member of the
County Executive Committee, and
was only present at its meeting to
carry out a promise made the "Forty"
to appear before the committee and
request them to call a convention on
the lines indicated in the address of
the "Forty."
We made the request as promised,
but the committee in its wisdom saw
no necessity for complying with the
request, as they were unanimously
in favor of letting every man vote as
his conscience would dictate.
We deny ever deceiving the -For
ty," and the editor of the State
ought to remember that we told the
conference to demand an equal di
vision would be asking for more than
the majority would give, and single
handed and alone contended for a
fair and equitable division. We con
tended for such a division because
that was our understanding of the
"Forty" movement, and we know
that all of the Reformers who went
into the movement went into it with
the understanding that it would be
generous and just to give our Con
servative friends such representation
as their numbers would entitle them
to on the principle of minority repre
sentation.
It was to carry out this under
standing that we joined the "Forty"
movement, and we have stood by it
ever since.
Now, because we have not allowed
the assumed leadership of the State
to influence our course, that paper
would charge us with deception,
etc.
We are a member of the "Forty,"
elected by a large convention of both
Reformers and Conservatives, and
have a right to know the objects
of its organization, and we can safely
say that it 'was far from the object
of the "Forty" to be led or coun
seled by the State.
The mission of the "Forty" was
for peace and to unite the white men
for the Constitutional convention,
and not to get up an organization to
exhume political carcasses
Tbhe allusion to McLaurin ought
not be noticed, but as some may be
deceived by the statement that
"McLaurin has lost two of his edi
tors," we think it may be well to say
that General McLaurin is our per
soal friend, and as long as he ad
vocates our views we will stand by
him through thick and thin; but
should he at any time advocate views
not in accord with ours, we will differ
from him as emphatically as we do
the State.
We do not belong to McLaurin or
any other man, and 'we 'will forever
contend for the poor privilege of
having our own views and opinions.
It has been sometime since we have
seen any utterance from General
McLaurin, but 'we are almost sure
that the position assumed by the
Columbia State does not meet with
his approval or that of any other
Reformer or real Conservative.
General McLaurin was one of the
founders of the "Forty," and 'when
he set out 'with that body, it was for
a grand and noble purpose, but un
fortunately the Columbia State, the
Spartanburg Herald and the Green
ville News, after having been kicked
out from everywhere else, undertook
to assume a leadership.
The State, being jealous of the
others, tried to create the impression
that it had become the guardian,
and the result was that many Re
formers and some Conservatives be
came disgusted and avoided the
"Forty" as they would the "Colored
Ministerial Union," the only organ
ization the State and its friends have
a right to speak for.
Had the "Forty" stood to its origi
nal intention and the purposes of its
organization, it would to-day be the
strongest political body in the State
for the reason that its claims would
have been based on justice, and they
would have commended themselves
to the people, regardless of faction.
There are some newspapers in
South Carolina, if they would really
do the State a great service just at
this time, would either devote their
editorial columns to advertisements
or close up entirely and take a rest,
for, if they are not themselves weary.
they make everybody else so.
"Keep Off the Grass" Coxey has
launched out as a journalist, and the
first issue of "Sound Money" if
beautifully gotten up. Mr. Coxey
gives as his reason for starting this
paper that is impossible to reach the
people through the Demo-Republican
press. Coxey is a good and forcible
writer and, with the country in its
present agitated condition on the
money question, it would surprise
us if "Sound Money" is not exten
sively read. In advocating silver
money - redeemable in all of the
products of the country (including
lbor), making it a full legal tender
for all debts, public and private, and
rceivable for all debts due the gov
rnment-he has struck a popular
hord, and one which will find a
ready response throughout all the
poducing States.
Williams a Firebrand.
if A. B. Williams, of the Greenville
News, is correctly reported, he is the
most consumate ass that ever trod in
shoe-leather.
When he tells the Conservatives
that they can win the fight for the
Convention if they will "bring moral.
political, pecuniary, physical, and
other influences'' to bear on our farm
ers, he simply means that our farm
ers can be bought up like so many
cattle and driven to the polls.
The idea of a mau pretending to
have common sense, saying that the
votes of our farmers can be secured
by their creditors putting the screws
to them: Every sensible creditor
knows that if he was to undertake to
force our farmers to vote against
their wishes it would be a game the
farmers could play at also, and busi
ness would be entirely disorganized.
Mortgages on property would be no
security for the reason, that the
mortgagors would combine to pre
vent the mortgages on their property
being foreclosed.
Such erratic and silly threats as
were made by Williams does more to
separate the people than every
thing else.
Williams comes out in a card deny
ing the language attributed to hin
by the reporter of the Register. This
denial convicts him and leaves Mr.
Williams with nothing to do but to
go off and hide his head in shame for
having uttered such a foolish threat
about white men.
The following paragraph is taken
from Mr. Williams's denial, and if his
language is not resented by the Con
servatives themselves we will be mis
taken. Listen to what he says in
his defense:
What your reporter obviously tried to
describe was a reply of mine to the sugges
tion of somebody that "the ring" having
the election supervisors and managers
would force a victory no matter how much
strength its opponents might develop. I
said it, and I have already expressed the
same ilea editorially in the Greenville
News, that with the moral, social, financial,
commercial, physical, and intellectual force
the opposition would represent, organized
and applied., the chances would be in fa
vor of securing fairness in the election. I
went on to say that nearly all these elec
tion officers will have social or business
connections with people on our side; some,
or many of them, would probably be in
debt or under obligations of friendship or
relationship, or otherwise, to their oppo
nents; that in the face of these facts I did
not believe any general scheme of fraud
could be carried out; that there were very
few men who could be trusted to deliber
ately swindle their own neighbors, friends,
kinsmen, and associates and incur the just
ill-will of those whom they might be or ex
pect to be under obligations.
In the national campaign of 1884 a
preacher said if the Democratic party
succeeded the country would be
ruled by Rum, Romanism, and Re
bellion, and this foolish utthrance
cost Blaine the loss of the Presi
dency. Had not Burchard made
that statement New York State
would have gone for Blaine.
In South Carolina the people want
to get together, but every time they
make an effort some fool of a Bur
chard lets his brains fly out of his
mouth and spoils things.
If Williams and a few like him
could be caged for the next two
months the country might have some
relief.
Farmers, Williams of the Green
ville News intimates you can be
bought; what do you think of him?
Governor Evans has gone to Union
College in New York State to deliver
an address.
We are requested to call the atte n
tion of several newspapers to the
fact that the Clarendon Enterprise,
formerly published in Manning, has
been out of existence for some time,
and that they will please cut that
paper off from their exchanges.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion ot the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fcr
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send ior circubirs; free.

CLARENDON'S EXAMPLE.
The executive committee of the~ Claren
don county Democracy is certainly blessed
with sound sense and real conservatism.
It is Democratic also to the core and be
lieves in carrying out the spirit as well as
the letter of the pritnary, which in its pure
state i-. a political contrivance for the se
lection of party candidates, by means of
which each man has the right to vote di
retly for the men of his choice, his vote
couting as much as any other man's, and
thrcugh which the will of the majority is
asertained. The primary is prostituted
when artificial restrictions are put around
it to deprive the voter of a full opportunity
to vote for exactly whom he please 2. Such
prostituticn of the primary should never
be indulged in for mere expediency's sake
as it sets a bad precedent that at some fu
ture day will react with boomerang effect.
The Clarendon committee at a meeting
attended by seven Iteformers and five Con
servatives, set its face against artificial linm
itations of the primary, "leaving it to each
individnal voter to judge for himself w bo
are the best men." In our judgment, to
deprive the individual voters of that priv
ilege is to deny their fitness for self-govern
ment under Democratic institutions. The
Clarendon committee made another sensi
ble and timely move by seconding the ad
vice of the State Democratic Executive
ommittee and recommending "to the.
Democratic voters to endeavor as far as
possible to select and vote for the best men
as delegates to the constitutional conven
tion." This will be done in Clarendon
county and its delegates will not all be of
one political faction, and it can be done in
every county where the authority of the
Democratic organlizationl is recognized and
there is no attempt made by the Conserva
tives to rnn an Independent campaign.
In counties where Independent campaigns
are threatened, drawing of political lines is
inevitable and factional affiliation will
have as much influence as fitness and abil
it in determining the election of con di
dates.
Clarendon is on the right track and has
set an example which it would be well for
other counties to follow.-Columbia Rlegis

ACHAPTER OF CRIMES
Lawlessness Reigned Supreme in
a New Orleans Suberb.
BURGLERY, ARSON AND LYNCHING.
A Crowd of Rowdies Inaugurate Lawness
ness Which Ends in Nearly all the
Crimes on the t tatute Books.
Vengence Meted.
NEw Onr:LANs, La., June 25.-Law
lessness reigned supreme in Gretna, a
suburb of this city last night. As a re
sult or.e man has suffered death at the
hands of a mob or lynchers, another
one is dying. a house burned and the
furniture demolished. There was -re
venge in the hearts of the law-abiding
citizens who no longer have faith in
the powers of the guardians of the
peace, and have taken the law into
their own hands.
At d o'clock pesterday evening, a
angr of rowdiesappeared on the streets
and declared their intention of lynch
ing a negre,,s named Francis Woodsen.
Night came on. however, and they dis
persed and were not seen for some
hours.
About 1o o'clock at night, the crowd,
who are said to be composed of six well
known young mien in the community,
went to Woodsen's house, but she,
having heard of their threats against
her life. had left and came over to New
Orleans where she remained until yes
terdav morning. The hoodlums knock
ed at the door, but as this was not
opened to them they broke' open the
side gate andi went into the rear yard,
subsequently gaining entrance into the
house by breaking in the kitchen door.
Once in the house, they immediately
set to work to demolish furniture. A
piano was smashed to pieces: chairs
were broken into splinters, the mat
tress of the bed torn into shreds, the
carpet on the floor torn and destroyed,
and the kitchen stove was wrecked.
After finishing their devilish work the
crowd set fire to the building. They
then ran away, but were seen and
recognized. An alarm of fire was
turned in and the flames were quickly
subdued. As soon as the outrage be
came known, white citizens organized
themselves and determined to lynch the
gang. The latter eluded arrest and at
midnight committed a second outrage,
when they ran across an old negro and
beat him to the point of death.
Otlicer Goodlet finally caught John
Frey. a young white man, and one of
the gang. The news quickly spread
among the citizens who had gathered
in force. They intercepted the otfcer
and taking the prisoner from him,
lynched Frey to the nearest telegraph
pole.
Early yesterday morning three others
of the gang were arrested and it is
feared they nay suffer the same fate
as Frey. Frey was a son of Dr. John
Frey, who. with several other members
of his family, lost their lives in the
great storm at Chenier Camanade two
years ago.

Spring Medicine
Hood's Sarsaparilla Is Just Right
"I am happy to state that I am convinced
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the bestmedicine
that I have ever taken. Last spring I
was completely worn out. I
Had No Strength
to do anything. The least work I did
fatigued me very much. I also came
very near losing the sight of one of my
eyes. I began taking Hood's Sarsapa
rilla, and health, strength, appetite and
clear eyesight were restored to me. I
Hood's Sarsa
parilla
have taken other ores
medicines, but
found no relief un- 0%A6
til I gave Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial.
I am convinced it is superior to all
others. The good it did me is inexpress
ible." H. T. AvERY, Lovejoy, Georgia.
Hood's Pills are purely vegetable, and do
aot purge, pain or gripe. Sold by all druggists,

BOTH MAY COME SOUTH.
[emocratic and Republican National Con
ventiona May be Held in t he south.
IVAsHINGTON, June 22.-Possibly one
r both of the great national conven
tions will be held in the south the next
ime.
Democrats and republicans are taking
lively interest in the suggestion that
the south will be especially desirable
ext year as the place for holding con
rentions. The south having by the re
ults of the elections last year placed
itself in the list of politically doubtful
ections of the country many republi
ans are considering the effect of hav
ing the next convention held there.
Senator-elect Carter, chairman of the
ational republican executive commit
tee, when in this city a few days ago,
said he thought the question of having
the rallying of his party in the south
as one that is worthy of serious con
sideration.
Southern democrats and republicans
claim that Atlanta, New Orleans, Nash
ville or Lexington would be able to
care for the physical comforts of the
elegates and that no argument against
aving the convention in their midst
ould be made on that score.
